OMR's Crystal Ball - SAM BLEASE


Old Man Rivers

Recommended Posts

Knowing the emotional journey this kid has been on over the past 5 years I thought it would be a nice to revisit

his meeting with The Prez when he 1st arrived @ the club.

I've seen a few other threads about Blease and reckon you could have used them to revisit the topic; I thought it was grandstanding.

Rogue - Some interesting reading in your homework, not sure what provoked your attack however has been noted.

Your assertion that you were an Oracle prompted it; I wondered whether you perhaps really were an Oracle, so I clicked on your list of posts and looked at the first page of results.

Sadly you're not - I was going to ask for the tatts numbers - but it's all tongue-in-cheek so I hope you took it that way.

As I said in that very post, I'm no oracle; I gave the McLean example as one I got very wrong.

So what do both of you actually think of the form of Sam Blease in the past 3 weeks?

I've commented on this in other threads. In a word, promising. If there were two words, I'd add 'very'.

Geez, you fair lined him up, Rogue? Something get you shirty enough to come off the long run?

Haha, not at all. I honestly can't even remember reading a prior post from OMR. I just took the same view as Thomo:

You did not start this thread to discuss Blease, you started it to congratulate yourself.

From the reaction I get that my post might have been a bit harsh, but that wasn't the intention.

Fwiw, Rogue has been looking forward to seeing Sam Blease ply his trade at AFL level. Yesterday's game would have put a smile-on-the-dial, no doubt.

Absolutely; it was great. The crowd reaction when he went for a few runs seemed to indicate I wasn't alone.

Steady on!

If you're going to set yourself up as the Oracle you've got to embrace your other calls too.

Let's take a trip down memory lane with Oracle Man Rivers:

How about we start with Chris Johnson?

.......

That said, your hit rate is probably as good as Nostradamus.

NB. I've made incorrect calls - I was all sorts of wrong on McLean - but I also don't start up threads boasting that I'm the oracle :P

*Stands and applauds*

Awesome detective work Rogue. Ouch.

Rogue & especially little Mr Fushcia

Thanks for the negative response to what was a light hearted attempt @ higlighting the scintalating form of Sam Blease

in what has been a dark year for our great club.

Mr Fushcia - You just enjoy going about sucking the life out of everything you come in contact with your bullsh_t Wisdom quotes.

Highlight Blease's form not your own. ;)

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
